Frontier Airlines announced a major route expansion today which will see the ultra-low-cost carrier (ULCC) launch 15 new routes, including three new dots on the airline’s route map this fall.
Frontier Unveils 15 New Routes
As part of this expansion, Frontier is launching service to Corpus Christi International Airport (CRP) and Richmond International Airport (RIC). Tulsa International Airport is also returning to the airline’s route map as part of the most recent expansion. As is typical with Frontier, all new routes will operate with sub-daily service, with frequencies ranging from 1x-4x weekly depending on the route.
Josh Flyr, Vice President of Network and Operations Design at Frontier Airlines, had this to say about the expansion:
“With new destinations and routes from coast to coast launching this October, consumers will have even more affordable flight options to choose from as they plan their travel through 2025 and into the new year. With new destinations in Texas and Virginia, our return to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and new routes between several of our top cities, now is a better time than ever for consumers to give Frontier a try and experience the comfort, convenience and savings we are known for.”
This route announcement is the latest in a series of moves by the ULCC looking to poach passengers from other airlines, like Southwest, with a promotion offering unlimited companion travel for frequent flyers. The airline is also working to retrofit its aircraft with a First Class product, similar to Spirit’s Big Front Seat in an effort to chase more premium-focused travelers.
Unfortunately for me, being Austin based, Frontier has all but abandoned my home airport. I’m interested in flying with the carrier once its First Class product has been fully rolled out as the airline seems to have the most staying power of the current group of ultra-low-cost carriers. Are you intrigued by any of these new routes?
Summary
Frontier Airlines is launching 15 new routes this fall. The Denver based ultra-low-cost carrier is adding three new destinations to its route map
